Refs bailed him out.  It’s that simple.

did they?  or did the rule book?

It was a stupid play, absolutely should have just ate the sack, but if you're going by the definitions of rules in the book, he made a pass attempt in the area of a WR, no matter how ridiculous it looked.

IDK about "allowed" but it should have been intentional grounding for sure.

Also, the pay off for that is just 100% not worth the risk. That's a fuging moronic decision even if it paid off.

totally agree that it was beyond stupid, but the last thing it could have been was intentional grounding, it landed like a yard away from Puka's feet.

If it was going to be an incorrect call in the end, I'd have been fine with it being called a fumble or a sack as "in the grasp" before it being called intentional grounding, and by the rules, it was actually an incomplete pass.

I know the rule but the spirit of that rule is ridiculous in that instance.

    • I’m beginning to think it’s more likely Mason Graham is there at 8 than Jalon Walker is
    • Good side discussion on WR 40 times. I think that although it's a factor in the overall decision, it would be just one of many, and should never be the decision itself. Excluding a WR from consideration simply based on this one portion of their overall game just seems stupid to me.   Like I'd said, good discussion that made me curious about some of the all-time greats. Take this as just food for thought: Tim Brown - 4.39 Art Monk - 4.5 Randy Moss - 4.25 James Lofton - 4.67 Andre Reed - 4.4 Michael Irvin - 4.52 Terrell Owens - 4.38 Steve Largent - 4.7 Calvin Johnson - 4.35 Lynn Swann - 4.5 Marvin Harrison - 4.3 Cris Carter - 4.58 (GOAT) Jerry Rice - 4.71 (although this is most likely incorrect and would be 4.55-4.59 it seems)   My point being, some of the best WRs in the history of the NFL had extremely fast times, slow times, and mostly in between. To me, Jerry Rice will always be the most amazing receiver and he was never blazing fast in the 40.   For today's perspective- in our division, the guys who literally shredded us this year: Mike Evans - 4.54 Drake London - 4.53 Not really applicable for the Saints, as they lean more on their RBs and WRs are by committee it seems. Their highest with 548 yards for the year was Juwan Johnson - 4.58
    • Good strategy. I try to have positions buckets. Like two or three positions in a particular round. Trying to combo need and bpa.
